Much of the research that influences this course is conducted by those teaching it. Their expertise and academic knowledge allows you to analyse different leadership approaches and explore how they could relate to your own practice. A key focus of the course is supporting practice-based inquiry and applying it to the way you work.
Our course provides the flexibility of studying online, enabling you to study modules and engage with materials at times that fit around your other commitments. Online modules are managed through the Moodle virtual learning environment, which combines module content, reading lists, and materials with online activities, discussion forums, and access to tutors.
